He is using dominoes to make a floating tenon. The tenon is smaller than the mortise (the hole) and this allows it to move. To keep it from pulling out of the hole, there is a dowel that fits in the wider slot (allowing for expansion). The very center mortise and tenon are sized the same and well attached but the rest of the joints allow for plenty of movement.

So nice! I miss having a pull out board. Even though I never actually cut on it, it was nice having just a little extra counter space. Too bad "modern" cabinetry doesn't include them.
